Pasting to Word 2000 from IE hangs Win2k

T

tbl

Whenever I try to paste from a web page into Word 2000, Word
seems to need to dl all the content again, even tho IE already
has it, and if I don't allow Word access to the Internet, it
crashes.

This has only been the case for a couple of months--Word 2000
didn't use to act this way. It must've been one of the MS
security patches, but I don't know which one.

Anyone?

Thanks,

Just because one Microsoft program has the content, that
doesn't mean another one will play nicely and just take
it from IE. I have WinXP and WordXP, and I always have
to allow Word to access the Internet whenever I paste
more than a couple sentences from IE. It's kinda stupid,
but it's the only thing you can do.

Since this was an older version than what I have, it
probably was one of the patches that did it to you
(updates - sure.) I can't tell you which one, though.

Hope this helps (at least knowing that you're not alone).
